Revision as of 21:22, 17 February 2015
When two Muslims kill eleven white people for insulting Prophet Muhammad, millions march to defend free speech. When a white atheist kills three innocent Muslims, Western media and society do not seem to care. When I glanced through the Main Page yesterday, I noticed that the In the news section focused on events that put Islam and Muslim-majority countries in a bad light.
I have a close friend who has the research and writing skills to tackle the numerous red links in our lists on members of the Singapore parliament and companies listed on the Singapore Exchange. However, I decided not to encourage him to contribute. As a Chinese Singaporean, I sometimes feel unwelcome in an English Misplaced Pages community dominated by white people, so I believe that my friend, a Malay Singaporean, would feel even more unwelcome.
Wishing all Chinese editors 新年快乐. As I clean my house, buy new clothes and prepare for reunion dinner, I wonder how many Wikipedians know that Chinese New Year is tomorrow. Will On this day mention this festival, which is celebrated by over a billion people? I cannot assume, as last year, Deepavali (an Indian festival celebrated by over a billion people) was not mentioned. An unregistered editor who pointed out the omission was bitten for poor English.
There is only so much that one person can do. More Wikipedians need to have open discussion about such problems and, more importantly, actual action to tackle them.
